/28/ - Love in Its Wrong Form

Sky immediately went outrageous when he saw his ex's face. Behind the bars, Thorne stood so weakly, his posture slumped and defeated. The man Sky once knew, the one who had stolen his heart, seemed a shadow of his former self. Thorne's usually impeccable hair was disheveled, his clothes crumpled and stained.

"Hayop ka! Gago!" naglangitngit na sambit ni Sky nang maglapit ang kanilang mukha. Some inmates might be eavesdropping on their conversation, but it didn't matter to him. "Ano bang nagawa namin sa 'yo na ginanito mo kami?"

Hindi nagtaas ng mukha si Thorne. Nakayuko lang siya habang nakahawak sa rehas. Several strands of his long hair were obstructing his face.

"Minahal naman kita, Thorne," nasasaktang banggit ni Sky. "Minahal ka rin ni Chance. Bakit mo kailangang sirain ang mga buhay ng mga taong dating nagmahal sa 'yo?"

Thorne swallowed hard as he clenched his teeth. He shifted his gaze to the left, avoiding Sky's eyes. His face remained monstrous.

"Sana masaya kang makita ang kinahinatnan ng ginawa mo. Chance suffered for something he didn't do. Putang-ina ka!" Sky gritted his teeth full of remorse. Gusto niyang saktan si Thorne hanggang sa magsawa siya. Gustong-gusto niyang ipaghiganti si Chance.

Biglang may tumulong luha sa mukha ni Thorne ngunit hindi pa rin nagbago ang kanyang ekspresyon.

"Kailangan ba talagang umabot sa ganito?" Sky asked. "Ano ba talaga ang gusto mong mangyari? Ha? Sumagot ka!"

"Sorry..." Thorne finally uttered softly. "I am... sorry."

"'Yon na 'yon?" Sky's voiced raised. His breath quickened. "Sa tingin mo ba maaayos ang lahat nang ginawa mo diyan sa 'sorry' mo? Do you really think that our lives will just magically go back to how they used to be dahil lang nag-sorry ka?"

Humugot ng malalim na hangin si Thorne. Mas lumabis ang pamumula ng kanyang mata. Tila may gusto siyang sabihin pero hindi niya mahanap ang tamang mga salita. "Nagawa ko lang naman 'yon k-kasi..."

"Kasi?!"

Sa wakas ay tiningnan ni Thorne ang kausap sa mga mata nito. His eyes were sharp arrows that unforgivingly penetrated Sky's soul. "Kasi ayaw ko na ng divided attention mo, Sky. Lunod na lunod na ako sa kakaintindi sa sitwasyon natin na palaging nagtatago. I always feel like I never actually existed in your world when you deny our relationship to your friends or to whoever is asking you about us."

"Is that truly your reason?" Sky asked, his voice slightly lowered, seemed disbelieving. "O baka naman may mas malalim pa."

"Alam mo ba kung gaano ako ka-proud sa 'yo dahil sa mga narating mo?! Gustong-gusto ko 'yong ipagmayabang sa buong mundo. Gustong-gusto kong ipagmayabang na magaling ang boyfriend ko. Pero putang-ina, hindi ko magawa!"

Sky shook his head, his eyes welling up. "I thought you understood me, Thorne. I thought it was alright with you."

"Pinilit kong intindihin ka. Pinilit kong intindihin ang sitwasyon natin. And, I even compromised. Pero umabot ako sa punto na nasasakal na ako. Oo, mahal kita, Sky. Pero, paano naman ako?"
